Out in Pine Island there were thousands of Snow Geese last night. What a thrill. Heading out right now to see if we can find the Ross's, Greater White Fronted and the Barnacle that were also seen yesterday.
Pouring rain out, mid 50s today. Two pairs of Purple Finches at the feeder first thing this morning. Later on we headed back out to bird Pine Island. We saw hundreds of Pintails, dozens of G.W. Teal, several American Widegon and a lone Tundra Swan all at the PI Golf Course. We drove out to the camel farm and also the Turf Nursery and saw lots of Canada Geese, not much else. I no sooner arrived back home and received a voice message that Ross's Geese, a total of FIVE had been seen out a Mission Land Road. Back in the car....YES...a lifer! A blue Morph as well as an adult Ross's goose. Met some birders that I knew from their posts on NYS Rare bird alerts, it is nice to put names to the faces. What an exciting way to spend a rainy Sunday morning. Home to a very late brunch of a Gluten Free Pancake Sandwich.
